I have this book. The Paisley Pear is huge! Tamara,
I don't think this is what you are looking for for
your project.

The pricking for the Paisley Pear design is the centre fold for the book
published by the Lace Guild, written by Pat Rowley for the 'Art, Trade or
Mystery' exhibition on Lacemaking in Northamptonshire held a few years ago.
There is also a photograph of Betsy Gibbing of Paulerspury, Northamptonshire
I've just found a picture of the Paisley Pear pattern being made. It looks
10 to 12 inches wide, so it wouldn't be suitable. The picture's on page 16
of The Lace Society's magazine 'Lacemaking' no 143 from February 1999. The
caption says there's an example in The Douglas-Pennant Collection in
Abing
